Today, I’m sharing a one week meal plan filled with healthy meals! The breakfast and dinner ideas are family focused and the lunch ideas are there to nourish Mom. The menu focuses on whole food meals meant to feed you and your family with healthy ingredients.
If you want a week of healthy meals, meal prepping is essential to keep things simple. The menu includes recipes from my favorite cookbook- Love Real Food. Other recipes are “do it your way” and some come from Mid Michigan Moms Blog Pinterest Page. Your meal prep tasks are explained throughout the week. I’m a fan of leftovers so if you see the same meal twice be sure to prepare enough food for leftovers!
